Produktinformation

• Name: 4-Methylumbelliferyl N,N',N''-triacetyl-b-D-chitotrioside
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 4-Methylumbelliferyl N,N',N''-triacetyl-beta-D-chitotrioside is a fluorogenic substrate for chitinase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl N,N',N''-triacetyl-beta-D-chitotriosideas a substrate for measuring the chitinase activity is used for fungal infection assays.
